    What sucks about this whole system is that it relies on financial leverage. Imagine if you couldn’t hide from prosecution with enough cash. Or, imagine for a moment he’s innocent. He’s not, to be clear, and literally nobody believes he is, but imagine somehow he was the one guy in the corner of the room saying “Ya know, this is a crime and I will not be a part of it.” Innocent people are frequently ground into pulp by the justice system. Not Rudy, so I don’t have any sympathy for him specifically. It just feels icky to cheer as the orphan crushing machine is used off-label to crush people who deserve it for a change.

      In that case he could have quit, or reported the ongoing crime to the FBI.

      Like, he’s not a manipulated teenager with nowhere to go, and if he “wanted nothing to do with it” he should have separated himself from it
